THE s.NATURAL METHOD.

Mr. w. Irving Colby Lectures on His
New Method of Teaching the German
Language In Five Weeks.
MrW Irving Colby gave free lecture up
on his method of teaching the German Ian
guage yesterday afternoon at LOOMS Tenn
pie of Music. There were present Hon.
Henry G. Lewis, Hon. Jamas Gallagher,
Hon Joseph D. Plunkett, Rev. DIR. K1eeberg,
school, Mr.. George L. Fox, principal of the
Hopkins Grammar school, and Mr.. Henry
N. johnson, a former principal of the same
school, Attorney Charles FL. Fowler, Mr.. Fl.
P. Frost and many other well known gentle
men. Besides these were large number of
ladies, Yale students and members of the
Hillhouse High school who had come by in
vitation to ascertain by what method the lee
turer could guarantee to enable all his pupils
in five weeks to use the German language.
In his circulars, which were distributed to
the audience, Mr.. Colby announces that he
hopes to succeed in New Haven as in sur
rounding cities in making the lessons not
only instructive, but entertaining. He pos
itively guarantees a practical knowledge of
German in five weeks.
In opening his lecture Mr.. Colby said that
the natural method" is the only true way
to learn modern language. 1t is possible to
learn German in five weeks. I'VE
do not pretend" he continued, that
we can teach the whole language in 30 short
time, but we state just what we purpose
to teach and if after few lessons you are
not satisfied with the system you need not
feel under any obligation to continue or to
pay any money. By the natural method the
pupils commence to speak German at the
first lesson There are more than two thou
identical wit EpU ah
ones and it would be possible for me to talk
in German to you for an hour 30 that you
could all understand me-"
With glass of water Mr.. Colby then illus
trated few simple sentences in German,
such as f'Das wasser ist gut" (water is good;
wasser ist besser ais das lager bier" (water is
better than lager beer), speaking SO slowly and
plainly that all could understand him. "We
claim" asserted the speaker, "that we can
teach you to understand ordinary converse
ton as well as to converse more or less freely
in German" The professor then asked in
German such questions as ''Ist es elm buch?''
Us it book0 to which the audience respond
ed, f'Jah, es ist Elm buch." (Yes, it is book
SIT is useless" continued the lecturer, ''to
learn all about voice, mood, tense and all the
many complicated rules of grammar unless
one has learned to speak the language. When
a person learns a great many rules of German
grammar before he learns to speak the Ian
guage he becomes afraid to speak at all. By
the natural method every difficulty is ex-
planned as we go along" The speaker then
told an anecdote in German, using such sim
pie language that the audience understood
him.
In the evening the lecture was repeated
before another large audience. This after
noon at half past four o'clock and this even
ing at half-past seven o'clock Mr.. Colby
will give two more free lectures in the hall in
Freedman's block, 744 Chapel street. The
public are cordially invited to attend.

this figure is independent of the popula.
ton of Tibet, Kash gar, Iii, aud OOrea;
aud the total number of souls ruled by the
Emperor of China, therefore exceeds 400
millions, and still displays a tendency
to increase. AS the population of India
exceeds $50 millions, the Indians and
Chinese together constitute more than
half the entire human race; a fact
worth the attention of those philosophers
who study london. aud Paris, and then
announce that "Man believe s" this and
that. There are MARY races of men; but
some of the foremost among theme. g.,
the French and the Enthusiastically in.
crease at all while IL few-e. q; tire Otto
mans-slightly decline. If the process now
going on continues for another century,
the world will belong in the main to four
races, or rather peopleS,-the Teutons,
most of whom will speak English, the
Slavs, the Chinese, and the natives of
India. 1t is quite possible, however, that
they may quarrel, and that their march
towards the mastery of the planet, which
else will belong to them like Il cheese to
mites, may be seriously checked.

RUSSIA AND

VIENNA, Oct. IL.
The rumour Of nm intended inter-
view between the Emperor of Ger
many and the Gar has been contra
dicted with conspicuous emphasis and
promptituAc by the Berlin telegram
received in Vienna. Here the news
never met with much credence, and
Was believed to be at best a feel
er from Copenhagen. 1t is worthy
of note that the idea of a meeting be-
tween the two sovereigns is quite as
unpopular ia Russia as ia Germany.
Semi-oficiai irRelIigence from St.
Petersburg states that the Ghauvinist
party in Russia set tae report in cir
culation merely tOcall fora a storm
in the press against the interview. A
friend who has 1usb returne& from.
Russia assures ME that the feeling of
antagonism against Germany is far
greater than Il ever has been against
England. Nothing is spoken of but
the coming war with Germany; and
this feeling, he tells me, is not con-
fined to military and a~ristocratic cir
cles. Since the campaign against
Russians securities in the German
press it has spread to- financial and
business circles. During a stay Of

BY the usual official channels the
French Foreign Office has informn-
ton from the Governor of West Aus
tralia relative TO the wreck ola French
vessel on Crozpt Island. Thee news
of the shipwreck rescued Australia in
u peculiar manner. A dead albatross
was found on. the coast Of Freemantle
some months ago with q tin plate
tied around its neck, on which were
inscribed The words, written in French
"Thirteen Shipwrecked person have
taken refuge on Crozet island. Aug
4, 1887" The governor, to whom
the bird was brought, telegraphed
Immediately tn the admiral ut Sgd
ney. Il is believed that the ship
wrecked pcrs n are the crew of the
lhree-ma>ted vessel Tamaris, of BOr-
draux, belonging to Bordes and Son.
She left that port last December for
Noumea, and has not since been
heard Of. Her crew were thirteen in
number. The Crozet and Marion
Islands are situated to the south-ea
OF the Cape of Good Hope, in forty
eight degrees of longitude and forty
six OF latitude They abound with
game, and fish are plentiful on the
coasts, so that the sailors will scarce
ly have much suffering to undergo
from hunger. The poor aIbatross
had winged its fight over 1000 miles
OF ocean in order to deliver iS mes
sage at Frecmnntle.-DGly Telegraph.

On Wednesday, the jury empanelled for
.the Mitchellstown inquest pronounced thelf
j. yirdict. 1t was to the effect that County
Vnspector Quin John Brownrigg, Sergeant
William Kirwan, Constable Patrick Gavin,
and Constable Peter Brennan "did telonl-
ously, w%ilfuIly, and of malice atorethougnt
kill and murder Lonsrgan, Shinnick' 'vid
Casey, the three men shot in the square
during the riot. After the reading OF the
verdict. the Coroner issued warrants Tor
the arrest of those named.-a course
which, however, was protested against oy
Mr.. MorHhy, We suppose that the verdict
will be followed by q prosecution at the
Asszes. This course would be by no means
to be regretted. The irqnest was conduct
ted throughout with such incoherence,
with such a total want of legal precision,
and with such partiality, that IA caretul
investigation on oath before a competent
tribunal would be IN every way desirable.
That the verdict is monStrOus aud absurd
and that the police were perfectly Jnsflned
in Rring as they did to save their complnl-
ons ami protect the barracks, we ourselves
feel no kind Of doubt. 1t is to be noted
that Mr.. Irwin, who actually issued tue
order to fire, is not among the accused.
His testimony pleased Mr.. Harrington;
1t is sta. ell that the Government intend
to apply to the COURT of Qleen's Bench TO
have The proceedings at the inquest quaSn'
ed, on the ground of infOrmallty.

The Bulgarian elections have resulted
in the return of an overwhelming majority
for the Government. Out of 292 seats.
the Government has obtained 26O: and
the Opposition of all sorts, only 81, NJ. NJ.
RadoslavOff, KaravelOff, and ZankOff all
losing their elections. But though the
anti. Russian and National Party have tlrus
gained complete command of the Sobranje,
it is to be feared thar the result will not
be accepted as d final declaration of the
will of the Bulgarian people. The number
of abstentions was so enormous, that those
voting only numbered IA third of the total
register. This fact, aud the fierce rioting,
during which some thirty persons were
killed and as many more wounded, have,
of course, been seized upon by those hos
tile to the cause of Bulgarian indepen-
dence, and declared to show that the
elections are not to be regarded as repre-
senting the feeling of the people. The
Journal de 81. Petersburg sneers at the
elections as illegal, and at the victory of
the Government aS won only by force,
aud declares that 'ttllis ~sanluJ0ci am Of an
